Ingredients

4 cup uncooked bow tie pasta

3 tablespoon butter

2 10.5-oz. cans cream of mushroom condensed soup

1/4 cup sour cream

1/2 cup whole milk

3 cup shredded Monterey Jack Cheese

3 14.5-oz. cans French style green beans

6 oz French fried onions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F, and prepare a baking dish with non-stick spray. Drain the green beans and set aside.

Step 2

Cook and drain pasta according to package instructions.

#SpoonTip: Be sure to add a pinch of salt to the boiling water before adding in the pasta.

Step 3

Melt butter in a large skillet. Add in cream of mushroom soup, sour cream, and milk. Whisk the mixture and let it cook for about 10 minutes on the stove.

Step 4

Pour about half of the soup mixture over the cooked pasta and quickly stir in 2 cups of the shredded cheese while it’s still hot. Line the bottom of the baking dish with the cheesy pasta mixture.

Step 5

Pour the drained French green beans into the skillet with the rest of the soup mixture and coat. Pour the beans directly over the layer of the pasta.

Step 6

Cover the dish with the remaining cup of shredded cheese and then top with the French onions. Bake for 20-30 minutes. Cut and serve while hot.
